This morning, between me and my daughter, aka CatGirl. This is pretty typical of our exchanges:
CatGirl: What’s that?
Me: This? Cream of Wheat.
CatGirl: More like Cream of Weird.
Me: You mean Cream of Awesome.
(I italicize my words when I talk. It’s a rare talent.)
CatGirl: You know, I don’t think I’ve ever tried Cream of Wheat.
Me: Here’s a golden opportunity.
CatGirl: Bleah. I’ll pass.
On another personal note, I just wanted to mention that Jana was discharged from the hospital today. She still has a lot of healing to do, and is essentially glued to the bed for the next week, if not more. She has a hole in her shin the size of my thumb that I get to keep packing and unpacking gauze into and out of, several times a day, until she heals. That this actually is optimistic tells you kind of where we were at before. Many thanks to all who asked after her and who helped us out!

heh, I have to side with CatGirl. I can’t stand Cream of Weird…although DH loves it.
Good luck to Jana, you, and the whole family. I’m glad things are turning up & you’re (all) out of the hospital.

Very cute!
I second xJane — glad things are looking up, and I hope all is well for your whole family.

John, ever heard of a sweet band from the mid-90s called Plaid Trash? Sort of a grunge-Pearl Jam sound? Just wondering if you had any info on a possible reunion tour. Sorry if this isn’t the right place to post this. I hope Jana is okay.

I would so buy a ticket for a Plaid Trash reunion tour!

Plaid Trash! The sound was ok, but the duo were hawt. Sort of a grunge boy band.
I’ve searched for you several times, my Google-proofed friend! We have some catching up to do–I’ll email you soon!
